Wang Yirong, an official of the Qing Dynasty, was bitten by mosquitoes and infected with malaria.

Wang Yirong, an official of the Qing Dynasty, was bitten by mosquitoes and infected with malaria. He once saw "keel" in his traditional Chinese medicine, thus becoming "the first person discovered in Oracle Bone Inscriptions". The following year, he committed suicide with his wife and daughter-in-law.

Wang's character is honest and frank. When he was drunk, officials in the same dynasty were inevitably scolded. Therefore, people nicknamed him "East Monster". He likes collecting calligraphy, paintings and ancient books, which often leads to financial difficulties. Until his death, he still had outstanding foreign debts.

Wang, 54 years old, was infected with malaria in the autumn of 1899. He also knows Chinese medicine, so his family will inevitably see what medicine they have when they get it back. As a result, they found a medicine called "keel" with a knife engraved on it. Suddenly, he burst into tears.

Wang hurried to the drugstore and said to the shopkeeper, "If the person who sent the keel comes again, please come to my house. This is the deposit. " Put down 10 silver conveniently.

Soon, an antique dealer really called Wang's home and bought 8 12 "keels" from him. After painstaking research, it was announced: "The knife carvings on these' keels' are ancient Chinese characters more than 3,000 years ago." For a time, the global academic community was in an uproar.

After divination, Oracle Bone Inscriptions engraved with auspicious symbols was filled with vermilion powder and smeared; The ominous use of graphite powder. And then store it all in a secret underground pit. Later, it was unearthed sporadically and sold to pharmacies as a "keel" by antique dealers.

In Wang's time, the desk was filled with ancient books such as Historical Records, burning the midnight oil to read and decipher Oracle Bone Inscriptions. When all was silent, he recorded distant information such as hunting, sacrifice, agriculture and military affairs in Shang Dynasty with a brush.

Suddenly, Eight-Nation Alliance's gunfire broke through the night sky in Tianjin. It was June 1900, and smoke filled Beijing.

Wang sized up the situation and felt that he had capital. Send someone to open the wellhead in their yard at once to expose the big wellhead? .

He went back to his yard in Wangfujing Syrah Hutong and said to his family, "I can't live without benevolence and righteousness!" " ".Immediately swallowed gold to commit suicide, not dead; Poisoned again, but not dead? .

Later, Xie Yunhe, the stepwife, and Zhang, the widowed eldest daughter-in-law, were thrown into the well and died together. A generation of literati has fallen.

After Wang's death, Wang Chonglie (the second son) rushed to Beijing and handed the Oracle bones at home to Liu E, a writer who wrote Travel Notes of Lao Can. The proceeds were used to pay off his father's debts before his death.
